ADIB Credit Cards

The Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, also known as ADIB was founded in Abu Dhabi in 1997 and was formally inaugurated in 1999 by the UAE Minister for Information and Culture, Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

ADIB trades in the Abu Dhabi stock exchange (known as the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange or ADX), under the heading of ADX: ADIB. With a paid up capital of AED 1 billion, each ADIB share holds a market value of AED 10. ADIB credit cards have captured the hearts of the UAE public and the bank itself has been recognized year after year for its commitment to world-class Islamic Banking. The bank has gained a huge following in UAE thanks to the stunning range of credit card offers and the generous contributions made to the UAE community.

ADIB Credit Card Limit

The ADIB credit card offers customers the ability to choose their own credit limit, by submitting a security cheque with an amount that is 5% more than the chosen limit. Cardholders are expected to maintain their spending within this credit limit. Any over-limit spending will draw a penalty charge and may also lead to the possible cancellation of the ADIB credit card if the overdue amount is not paid within two business days.

The Business Covered ADIB credit cards offer a fixed credit limit as supplied by the employer. The two business covered cards and their associated credit limits are mentioned below.

Customers can request for a temporary increase in their ADIB credit card limit by paying a nominal fee of AED 50.

ADIB credit card owners who do not want to use their personal saving for a set credit limit may instead enter into a Murabaha contract with the bank. Under a Murabaha contract, the primary ADIB credit card member agrees upon a credit limit with the bank and is expected to pay part of the used amount every month. The security deposit is made into an investment account, which is then used to purchase shares in various commodities, for which ADIB and the cardholder both share the risks of investment.

The full details of the Murabaha contract and other ADIB credit card terms and conditions can be found online.

ADIB Credit Card Charges

In full compliance with the principles of Islamic Banking, ADIB credit cards offer a completely transparent system of fees and charges. Some of the most commonly seen charges are as follows:

Late Payment Charge: AED 100 (This amount is donated to charity)

Returned Cheque Charge: AED 100

Card Replacement Charge: AED 75

No Liability Certificate Charge: AED 50

Additional Credit Card Statement Charge: AED 45
